A real joy for Phish fans is watching someone else fall in love with the band. Being here very week watching you do that has been an absolute treat. Thank you for sharing this journey with us, I've never looked forward to reaction videos until your channel and now I've started watching other videos from you too. Keep it up, Lee, you rock. Also, Divided Sky from this show is the one. Hands down.
Hey man, glad to have you! Makes it worth while to hear stuff like this. Obviously the music is amazing but I could just listen to it on my own time … I like sharing it with yall and having conversations about the music. That’s what it’s all about. I’m glad phish can bring us all together
@@L33Reacts Divided Sky should be done soon. It's along the lines of Bowie/Reba/YEM. Absolutely quintessential Trey. Perhaps the most soaring guitar you will ever hear. Sadly the 90s is lacking in good quality vids but when you work up into the 2000s there are much better vids. You could do the Divided Sky from the Clifford Ball festival in 1996. It's day time but amazing to see all the people there just for Phish. Or if you just want audio you could listen to the Divided sky from this same show.
Friend!!! Now you have to hear the divided sky from that same show. Might be my favorite performance for any song by phish ever! Incredible night in general. The whole white album cover is amazing. Best band on the planet!!!
@@L33Reacts If you are saving that then you should do the "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" from the 2nd set where they cover the entire Beatles White Album as their first of many Halloween Musical Costumes. I was lucky enough for my first show to be Halloween 1996, Talking Heads, Remain In Light which was a life changing experience.
Oh wow - you found the 94 Halloween Reba!!!! - There was a moment during this song (was at this show) that permanently moved something in my soul. After the show I announced to my friends my religious perspectives have been completely rewritten and I'll never see the world the same again. Since then every show I have seen with them has been a pilgrimage for me. Glad you discovered this!! Cheers!
@@stevea2639 I can see how this could be almost some new age religion music hybrid if you want to get really weird with it. Basically what Jared Leto wants but will never achieve 😂😂🫡
@@L33Reacts the community aspect of phish has been built in from go and has morphed into something special. Trey always wanted, above all, for his friends to have a good time and he is a force. Santana helped him refine “the hose” and they learned early on how to feed energy back and forth with the crowd. Bro, you just gotta go.
@@timhaines2894 The Down with Disease at that show was a standout among standouts for m e at the CB. Along with Divided Sky at sunset! Such joyful jams!! I could spend hours talking about the Clifford ball 🙂

It was rt around this time that I decided Trey was my favorite guitar 🎸 player ever. 30 years later,... Nobody has changed my mind!!! Which has a mind 🧠 of it's own!
For your first video ever watched, I would like to again nominate the Sand>Quadrophonic Toppling from their 'Big Cypress' Festival. Lengthy, but a whole ass heroes journey. Possibly their greatest jam ever, the place they reach is a peak they have never quite been before or after. By the end it puddles into the most beautiful ambient space ever created (in my humble opinion) and Michael "Soft G" plays some of the most gorgeous bass licks ever. It covers so much ground, a true 'big build jam' where the hose just doesn't stop. It was played during the final show of the festival, which was about 8 hours long. During the middle of the set (when this was played) trey said they reached a place where it was "impossible to play a wrong note." They were in synch. I've never heard anything quite like it.
Saturday Phish Phrys just keep getting better and better! Thanks to all the Phans that are guiding L33 (and indirectly me) along this journey to enlightenment! ☮️❤️🎶
The reason they can improv like that and do it so fluidly is they used to have practices called take the lead they would sit in a circle looking at each other and practice for 10 to 12 hours letting one person take the lead then the next the next the next and they did that for probably a decade
I've heard them describe what they call "get out of my hole". They'd sit around and practice but they had to all be playing something completely different.
Reba. My absolute favorite. To me, it’s everything Phish is, perfectly executed in a single song. Their wildly complex compositions, strange and goofy, beautiful, introspective. It’s just Phishy as fuck. Glad you picked this one!! Welcome to the Pham!!
I’m wondering if you know about Phish’s musical costumes on Halloween? This was the start of a tradition of three set shows on Halloween with the second set being another band’s album in its entirety. That year 1994 they covered the Beatles white album.
Excellent jam, excellent feels. Reba is a heart string puller. You have Fluffhead or Divided Sky to do next. This is it, no question. Get these two knocked out, and then we can go into some of the big jam vehicles. Thanks again Lee for doing this and we are all so happy to see you on your journey. (This is STF Network btw)

7/22/97, Taste. You have to read the story as well. A storm rolled in, and then, during Page’s piano solo, lightning struck right outside the amphitheater. On the audience tapes, you can hear several lightning strikes and thunder claps as Trey takes the song to peak after mindblowing peak. The band jams with one of the fiercest storms, and it’s just unbelievable what goes down.
Early mid 90's Rebas are some of my favorite. Something about the way the song's composition section leading into the improv section opens things up musically for them and Trey in particular. Always love your reactions. I don't think you realize how much you're appreciated by the community. You're always fun to listen to Phish with. Keep it going. Cheers!
Reba is perhaps the phishiest song of them all! Catchy chorus and goofy lyrics, insane composed prog journey, and then smooth lydian groove to a beautiful peak. If you want another one that makes you happy to be alive, you gotta do Bathtub Gin 8/17/97!
When I last saw Phish in 2018, almost two thirds of the show was songs from the early-mid '90s when I first got turned on to them. It's like they were looking out for me...
The way you SIGH as the jam is elevating-I think it’s the same thing all Phish fans have felt….it’s almost like, “Life is so hard but this ACTUALLY feels like pure unadulterated uplifting joy.” Phish, for just a few minutes, erases ALL PAIN.

@@FlowerSupply420 you can breathe finally it feels like. So much trouble in the world but none of it matters in that moment. It’s absolutely breathtaking.
@@L33Reactsyessir brotha, right there with you on all of it. Stick with the “Live Phish” series, the ones that have the album cover like this Reba did (see how it says 13 on it between LivePhish and the date? We call it LP13). This was a series and the sound quality is excellent. Exactly what you’re looking for as a reactor and a musician. And they’re choice cuts from the band so they’re fire. Like this Halley’s Comet in to NICU is an amazing combo you’d love. Gotta listen to both tracks. th-cam.com/video/-qB6OIYnzXQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=N9KA95uHu51d6Fr3
@@L33Reacts Yeah. I was there, and it was the best concert I would ever see. It later came out as Live Phish volume 13, which I'm guessing will become one of your favorites, particularly if you enjoy the beatles.
@@disguyhere972Gotta say the Mike’s>With>Weekapaug this past summer was awesome. Not suggesting Lee listen to it because there are so many other, better Mike’s Grooves from the ‘90s, just admiring that particular surprise sandwich filling. Which reminds me, we eventually have to pick out a stellar Curtain With for him. It’s one of the Phishiest songs to ever Phish.
Divided Sky from this show is another all timer. Simple from 10/31/96 and Sneakin Sally from 10/31/98 are two other great Halloween jams from this era as well
dude watching you get it is such a joy, because we've ALL been there, and wish we could experience it again for the first time. good thing is, phish still deliver every night.
You mentioned the word breathe at the end and how they opened it up and let it breathe. I always say Phish jamming is like Breathing. It is the best word to describe what it feels like to me. 👊
I recommend listening to a full show or two to get a sense of the flow of their shows...not even as a reaction video necessarily (although I would be here for that if you did).
@@L33Reacts Like I said...even if it's not a reaction...do it on your own time on a drive or something. Either way...Very much enjoying seeing you go down this rabbit hole. Still so so far to go! Enjoy bud!
I recommend the 6/14/95 Memphis Tweezer, which I attended. Warning-- it's 52 minutes long. 🙂 Other versions to try include Dayton Nutter Center 11/30/95 and 12/7/97 Detroit.
L33.. so glad you got turned on to Phish! Your journey has just begun. You need to go to a live show and experience the community and music. I have seen over 150 shows and it is always awesome! Thanks for your great videos and support of music. I get to relive some of it just listening to the music with you. Go to a live phish show!!!
I’m gonna try my best brother! I want to go so bad haha. I know it’s gonna be amazing 🤩 thank you for the kind words. I can’t wait to see what else they got in store for me..
And you are in tune with it.... The pockets that all the band members get into are just that! You recognize when it was more of a trey lead or mike or Page.. fishman is always the pocket. Knowing their history a bit over the years, big influences from Zappa, king Crimson, grateful dead, David Bowie, yes, etc. they know the good stuff!
Wow, just discovered your channel, very cool! Discovering Phish is a little like discovering a new planet -- so much to explore! And I love your format where you comment as the music plays, rather than pausing the song while you comment -- so much smoother! I'm subscribing...
If you're looking for something Halloween, the 1998 Vegas "Run Like An Antelope" is an overlooked gem. Okay, it's the show before Halloween, but it's a fantastic Antelope!
Dude , I love your Phish vids. You NEED to listen to the Amsterdam Stash. The single greatest Phish jam of all-time. 7/2/97. Someone else mentioned that you need to listen to a different version of a song you’ve already listened to and this is it. Other vote is 10/31/98 Wolfman’s brother.
Dude absolutely love your phish reaction videos…you’re probably my favorite and I’ve seen many many. Can totally see that you get phish and you have so much left to discover. They are a life journey and am glad to see you on your way. YOU HAVE GOT TO SEE THEM LIVE WHILE YOU CAN!!….can’t wait for the next one!!
Dude I appreciate that so much! Thank you! I immediately clicked with them the second I heard chalkdust… and I haven’t looked back since (like two months ago at the most lol) they are spectacular. I don’t know how I’ve been missing this my entire life.
@@L33Reactsso awesome…I’ve seen them like 100 times since the late 90’s….and it never gets old ! 😊totally check out the album “ slip stitch and pass”….that was my first introduction to this band….a live concert will change your life…pure bliss and joy
I was lucky to find Phish, the week of my first show (5/3/94) Pink Floyd played my college stadium (Vandy 5/8/94). Who gets a Harpua at their first show? Me apparently! I saw 2 shows from 10/94 and this was pretty much peak Trey shred era. Overall as a band I like the way they are now and a lot of my favorite Phish songs didn't exist yet at these old skool shows. Don't get to see but one weekend a year nowadays due to kids and family responsibilities, but I had some of the best times of my life and made some of my best friends in life thru the whole Phish experience. 194 shows and counting! Made it to 4 halloween runs, 10 consecutive new years runs and every festie since Big Cypress. Phish were the luckiest musical find of my life. Welcome to the party L33~
You have been making my Saturdays more fun. You have to check out Fluffhead, Maze, Bathtub Gin, Mike's Song> I am Hydrogen > Weekapaug Groove. They did a show with Les Claypool on 12/6/1996 that you must to listen to in its entirety.
watching you get more and more into and out of Phish is really excellent. Every time I watch, I get excited for you. You asked today where has this been all your life - you are doing it at the right time for you, and think about how much you might have missed if these guys grabbed your attention too early! It is hard, once you are into them, to not listen to them a LOT. I think a lot of us are chomping at the it to just explain so many areas of nuance and cool shit about Phish to you - like that they come on stage with no setlist planned. That Halloween, they typically do a and costume and cover an album. That they have a song called the Vibrations of Life. That they have a secret language that was prevalent in the mid 90's. About Gamehenge. Glowstick wars, secret sets, it just keeps going. There is so much to unpack and enjoy. I love the ride you are on and I love that we get to go with you. Can't wait to see your reaction to video when you get there and then to see how you feel when you go see them live. And a lot of the time, after I finish here, later in the day I hear a song that I can't wait for you to get to. Some of the dark and nasty stuff, some of the fast and fun stuff. I hope you end up digesting Hampton Comes Alive like you re the 94 stuff. And then on to more songs to enjoy - from Run Like an Antelope to Punch You In the Eye to Carini to Free and on to the newer songs that just slap! I Cannot even figure out how to put eniough of them in front of you - there are so many incredible things to taste in this magnificent candy shop. Keep both hands inside the vehicle and enjoy the ride.
Hey - Phish had a annual halloween tradition of 'dressing up' as another band and performing an entire album for the show. You probably saw that the '94 show has the Beatles White Album embedded in the show. If you go through the Halloween shows, you'll see Phish dress up as Talking Heads, the Who and even, in 2018, as a Swedish pop-band they invented and wrote a whole album of songs for. The band and album they made up was Kasvot Vaxt:i rokk (this translates to "face plant into rock" in Swedish).
This is the greatest Reba they’ve ever played and it’s a scientific fact. Check out the divided sky from this show as well for an equally incredible version
Man I wish this was one that you had done the video to. Just a random person in the audience that captured the whole show. Treys swaying at the peak is engraved into my brain, you can tell he was in a different place. Either way, you’re hitting all the top top stuff. Keep it going, best phish reactor on TH-cam!
Yeah, I know, it's hard to believe how great they are. I was lucky to be a UVM freshman in 1987. Let me suggest music from spring 92, such as the Weekapaug Groove from 3/20 Binghampton NY. It might be their GOAT show. It's unreal. It includes Brother and Sanity. That might not mean much to you, but they're rare songs that would only be played in the same show if the boys were in a supremely great mood.
You will be blown away when you watch a live video, etc. check out their official DVD releases Bittersweet Motel and the IT festival documentaries.. you will love it and get in close with the band and personalities and phans!!! You are already sucked in and understand how special this band is!!!!
Next song from this show should obviously be the 3rd set closing Run Like An Antelope, you will enjoy yourself 😁 Since it's only 11+ mins, may I suggest you also react to the While My Guitar Gently Weeps (6 mins) from the 2nd set when they covered the entire Beatles White Album, and started a tradition of covering another band's album as their Halloween costume 🎃
I would love a Phish video every day, but there’s a lot to be said for tension and release . Very satisfying. Lol.😂 i’m gonna keep suggesting Bathtub Gin until you play it.❤
You probably dont know this but Trey has his own Band call Trey Anastasio Band (TAB) that has additional percussion and horns. I think you woukd really like some of their stuff too. Push on til the day is a banger and Night Speaks to a Woman... To many songs to mention.
Hey.. I love you. Stayed to the end for the first time but, your honesty kept me there. Love and light my friend. The change in 97 was driven by their 96 Halloween costume. Talking heads changed their approach to everything. Anywho.. you’re a good soul and we’re all family
Bro whaaaaat that’s awesome! I had to drop the bruford reference! It sounded just like that album. I love it. These guys are wizards bro. I can’t get enough of
This show is my favorite, second set "White album - The Beatles - " included. And there is some footage! The devided sky and While my guitar gently weeps both phishing from the paradisiac pond of the innefable land of music
Started seeing them in 1994 on the east coast... And spent many years selling tshirts and going on Phish tour still to this day. Best band ever.. glad you got exposed!!!!
Love your videos !!!! Just based on the videos I've seen you do I kinda feel like you should watch the Prague Ghost from july 1998. Many fans feel like 1994 or 1997 was peak Phish but each year kinda has its own vibe. I personally feel like Trey creative touch was peak 1994 but the overall audio and just sonically for Trey and the band was more 1997 and peaking in 1998. 1999 is my favorite year and I feel like 1993 is the tightest year. Having said all of that if you want to see Trey peaking on guitar I'd watch the Prague Ghost video , but only do this video if your going to watch it because Treys stage presence comes thru strong in the video. Also Bathtub Gin from 97, 98,99 should be a must watch . Thanks for your videos and welcome to phish, there is soo much phish so take it slow lol
Welcome to ,”Reba!” Yay. One of the best. So Zappa. So Phish Go check out the lyrics. This song is why Phish fans love Phish and Phish haters hate Phish. This song will make or break a fan for sure. ❤️🌈🤪
I could see this one being the heads or tails for some folks for sure. But luckily for me, I didn’t care which side it landed on. I’m just happy to be here enjoying this wonderful band 🤩👍
Been loving your Phish reactions. I'm gonna ask for something totally out of left field... you oughtta check out Julien Baker. Big fan of Go Home/Hurt Less Pitchfork live version. Or Something, or Distant Solar Systems... all her songs are great, but those are favorites.
Song w/ Jam is good. Have to warm up, get you ready for those 2nd sets where it’s song>jam>song>jam>song>jam oh wait, they never stopped playing the whole set? What just happened?

Like this Halley’s Comet in to NICU is an amazing combo you’d love. Gotta listen to both tracks.

Greatest concert that I have, or ever will, take in. Not to be topped.
Were you there??
@@L33Reacts Yeah. I was there, and it was the best concert I would ever see.
It later came out as Live Phish volume 13, which I'm guessing will become one of your favorites, particularly if you enjoy the beatles.
Ultimate in Prog Rock ↗️🪨

Weekapaug groove - Philly spectrum 97 next it’s on their TH-cam channel audio and Spotify
Not without Mikes and hydrogen at the same time
@@disguyhere972 it’s not hydrogen on this album. Goes mikes->simple->dog faced boy->ya mar->weekapaug lol. Too many songs prob for a reaction
@@disguyhere972 no hydrogen on this album
@@disguyhere972Gotta say the Mike’s>With>Weekapaug this past summer was awesome. Not suggesting Lee listen to it because there are so many other, better Mike’s Grooves from the ‘90s, just admiring that particular surprise sandwich filling. Which reminds me, we eventually have to pick out a stellar Curtain With for him. It’s one of the Phishiest songs to ever Phish.
@@randomperson-dy6kj 2024 was one of my favorite tours
Divided Sky from this show is another all timer. Simple from 10/31/96 and Sneakin Sally from 10/31/98 are two other great Halloween jams from this era as well
dude watching you get it is such a joy, because we've ALL been there, and wish we could experience it again for the first time. good thing is, phish still deliver every night.
Is there another band that has found the “GROOVE” as much as Phish over the decades(1980s-2020s)!?!?! They are just so amazing….
YES THIS IS THE ONE!! my fav thing phish have ever done. Pure musical bliss and perfection
Such a CLEAN sound for a live recording!!! Thx to the Phenomenal Paul Languadoc
(Also made custom 🎸4Trey, & bass 4Mike + Soundman)
You mentioned the word breathe at the end and how they opened it up and let it breathe. I always say Phish jamming is like Breathing. It is the best word to describe what it feels like to me. 👊
Good choice! What's next?
I recommend listening to a full show or two to get a sense of the flow of their shows...not even as a reaction video necessarily (although I would be here for that if you did).
Dude I wish could react to a whole set. It would take up the whole morning but I’m here for it lol
@@L33Reacts Like I said...even if it's not a reaction...do it on your own time on a drive or something. Either way...Very much enjoying seeing you go down this rabbit hole. Still so so far to go! Enjoy bud!
I recommend the 6/14/95 Memphis Tweezer, which I attended. Warning-- it's 52 minutes long. 🙂 Other versions to try include Dayton Nutter Center 11/30/95 and 12/7/97 Detroit.
L33.. so glad you got turned on to Phish! Your journey has just begun. You need to go to a live show and experience the community and music. I have seen over 150 shows and it is always awesome! Thanks for your great videos and support of music. I get to relive some of it just listening to the music with you. Go to a live phish show!!!
I’m gonna try my best brother! I want to go so bad haha. I know it’s gonna be amazing 🤩 thank you for the kind words. I can’t wait to see what else they got in store for me..
@@L33Reacts Keep up your great videos!!!
And you are in tune with it.... The pockets that all the band members get into are just that! You recognize when it was more of a trey lead or mike or Page.. fishman is always the pocket. Knowing their history a bit over the years, big influences from Zappa, king Crimson, grateful dead, David Bowie, yes, etc. they know the good stuff!
Wow, just discovered your channel, very cool! Discovering Phish is a little like discovering a new planet -- so much to explore! And I love your format where you comment as the music plays, rather than pausing the song while you comment -- so much smoother! I'm subscribing...
If you're looking for something Halloween, the 1998 Vegas "Run Like An Antelope" is an overlooked gem. Okay, it's the show before Halloween, but it's a fantastic Antelope!
Not jimmy Hendrix but did play the entire beatles White album at this show
Dude , I love your Phish vids.
You NEED to listen to the Amsterdam Stash. The single greatest Phish jam of all-time.
7/2/97.
Someone else mentioned that you need to listen to a different version of a song you’ve already listened to and this is it.
Other vote is 10/31/98 Wolfman’s brother.
Dude absolutely love your phish reaction videos…you’re probably my favorite and I’ve seen many many. Can totally see that you get phish and you have so much left to discover. They are a life journey and am glad to see you on your way. YOU HAVE GOT TO SEE THEM LIVE WHILE YOU CAN!!….can’t wait for the next one!!
Dude I appreciate that so much! Thank you! I immediately clicked with them the second I heard chalkdust… and I haven’t looked back since (like two months ago at the most lol) they are spectacular. I don’t know how I’ve been missing this my entire life.
@@L33Reactsso awesome…I’ve seen them like 100 times since the late 90’s….and it never gets old ! 😊totally check out the album “ slip stitch and pass”….that was my first introduction to this band….a live concert will change your life…pure bliss and joy
I was lucky to find Phish, the week of my first show (5/3/94) Pink Floyd played my college stadium (Vandy 5/8/94). Who gets a Harpua at their first show? Me apparently! I saw 2 shows from 10/94 and this was pretty much peak Trey shred era. Overall as a band I like the way they are now and a lot of my favorite Phish songs didn't exist yet at these old skool shows. Don't get to see but one weekend a year nowadays due to kids and family responsibilities, but I had some of the best times of my life and made some of my best friends in life thru the whole Phish experience. 194 shows and counting! Made it to 4 halloween runs, 10 consecutive new years runs and every festie since Big Cypress. Phish were the luckiest musical find of my life. Welcome to the party L33~
You have been making my Saturdays more fun. You have to check out Fluffhead, Maze, Bathtub Gin, Mike's Song> I am Hydrogen > Weekapaug Groove. They did a show with Les Claypool on 12/6/1996 that you must to listen to in its entirety.
Notice naked Fishman on the cover with His vac. That happened during the show. Number 9 Number 9 !!!
watching you get more and more into and out of Phish is really excellent. Every time I watch, I get excited for you. You asked today where has this been all your life - you are doing it at the right time for you, and think about how much you might have missed if these guys grabbed your attention too early! It is hard, once you are into them, to not listen to them a LOT. I think a lot of us are chomping at the it to just explain so many areas of nuance and cool shit about Phish to you - like that they come on stage with no setlist planned. That Halloween, they typically do a and costume and cover an album. That they have a song called the Vibrations of Life. That they have a secret language that was prevalent in the mid 90's. About Gamehenge. Glowstick wars, secret sets, it just keeps going. There is so much to unpack and enjoy. I love the ride you are on and I love that we get to go with you. Can't wait to see your reaction to video when you get there and then to see how you feel when you go see them live.
And a lot of the time, after I finish here, later in the day I hear a song that I can't wait for you to get to. Some of the dark and nasty stuff, some of the fast and fun stuff. I hope you end up digesting Hampton Comes Alive like you re the 94 stuff. And then on to more songs to enjoy - from Run Like an Antelope to Punch You In the Eye to Carini to Free and on to the newer songs that just slap! I Cannot even figure out how to put eniough of them in front of you - there are so many incredible things to taste in this magnificent candy shop.
Keep both hands inside the vehicle and enjoy the ride.
Hey - Phish had a annual halloween tradition of 'dressing up' as another band and performing an entire album for the show. You probably saw that the '94 show has the Beatles White Album embedded in the show. If you go through the Halloween shows, you'll see Phish dress up as Talking Heads, the Who and even, in 2018, as a Swedish pop-band they invented and wrote a whole album of songs for. The band and album they made up was Kasvot Vaxt:i rokk (this translates to "face plant into rock" in Swedish).
Fishman actually got UN dressed up for that ‘94 Halloween 😂
Yeah, happy to be alive hits it on the head when talking about how phish makes you feel.
This is the greatest Reba they’ve ever played and it’s a scientific fact. Check out the divided sky from this show as well for an equally incredible version
LFG!
Come to the shows next weekend in Albany. 🎉🎉🎉
Man I wish this was one that you had done the video to. Just a random person in the audience that captured the whole show. Treys swaying at the peak is engraved into my brain, you can tell he was in a different place. Either way, you’re hitting all the top top stuff. Keep it going, best phish reactor on TH-cam!
Yeah, I know, it's hard to believe how great they are. I was lucky to be a UVM freshman in 1987.
Let me suggest music from spring 92, such as the Weekapaug Groove from 3/20 Binghampton NY. It might be their GOAT show. It's unreal. It includes Brother and Sanity. That might not mean much to you, but they're rare songs that would only be played in the same show if the boys were in a supremely great mood.
On the road and catching up on what I've missed. Wow! This was not to be missed! Wild and fun. Thank you.
Have you done Fluffhead yet? Another amazing Zappa-esq old school phish song
This is the show where they did the Beatles white album. The first of many haloween albums they did.
Phish saves lives. ✌️🤘❤
They really do…. It’s almost a religious experience at points
You will be blown away when you watch a live video, etc. check out their official DVD releases Bittersweet Motel and the IT festival documentaries.. you will love it and get in close with the band and personalities and phans!!! You are already sucked in and understand how special this band is!!!!
I can't wait for next Saturday! These guys bring the best out of you!
It’s definitely worth checking out the studio version of this one. The outro/Trey solo section before the Whistling is pure bliss.
My fav Reba of all time is the Clifford ball
Next song from this show should obviously be the 3rd set closing Run Like An Antelope, you will enjoy yourself 😁
Since it's only 11+ mins, may I suggest you also react to the While My Guitar Gently Weeps (6 mins) from the 2nd set when they covered the entire Beatles White Album, and started a tradition of covering another band's album as their Halloween costume 🎃
THIS WAS SO DAMN COOL 😎 This is why i subscribe to you. Never heard of this band but here I am, downloading their entire catalog. Thank you Lee ❤
Divided sky is a beautiful song you’d enjoy. The Lizards is a fun one too. Maybe the one from this last New Year’s Eve.
I would love a Phish video every day, but there’s a lot to be said for tension and release . Very satisfying. Lol.😂 i’m gonna keep suggesting Bathtub Gin until you play it.❤
This is in my top 2 phish shows attended, this & NYE 1995
You probably dont know this but Trey has his own Band call Trey Anastasio Band (TAB) that has additional percussion and horns. I think you woukd really like some of their stuff too. Push on til the day is a banger and Night Speaks to a Woman... To many songs to mention.
Surrender to the flow my phriend! Love watching you love Phish 🤘
you're the only reactor i agree with regarding Phish's power.
Oh yeah, let’s go!❤❤❤
Hey.. I love you. Stayed to the end for the first time but, your honesty kept me there. Love and light my friend. The change in 97 was driven by their 96 Halloween costume. Talking heads changed their approach to everything. Anywho.. you’re a good soul and we’re all family
absolutley love your reactions and takes. this was an insane pick. havent heard this for a long time. keep being you bruv
In honor of Halloween you should do a full set 2 from 95 96 or 97 halloween. Talking heads, the who, or velvet undergroud. Take your pick.
One of us! One of us!
Google, gobble!
Love these man… keep going
Dude. I was there. Thanks for really listening😊 and the Bruford ref was boss. Try Tribal Tech…………
Bro whaaaaat that’s awesome! I had to drop the bruford reference! It sounded just like that album. I love it. These guys are wizards bro. I can’t get enough of
This show is my favorite, second set "White album - The Beatles - " included. And there is some footage! The devided sky and While my guitar gently weeps both phishing from the paradisiac pond of the innefable land of music
And that’s why we go to shows. Escape
keep the phish reviews coming! channel growing! cool to see ;) love your takes as a "newer" phan with a musical background
Started seeing them in 1994 on the east coast... And spent many years selling tshirts and going on Phish tour still to this day. Best band ever.. glad you got exposed!!!!
"WTF bro?!" 😂 yep that pretty much sums it up. Been a joy watching you on your Phish journey!
You get IT, ma dude.
Love your videos !!!! Just based on the videos I've seen you do I kinda feel like you should watch the Prague Ghost from july 1998. Many fans feel like 1994 or 1997 was peak Phish but each year kinda has its own vibe. I personally feel like Trey creative touch was peak 1994 but the overall audio and just sonically for Trey and the band was more 1997 and peaking in 1998. 1999 is my favorite year and I feel like 1993 is the tightest year. Having said all of that if you want to see Trey peaking on guitar I'd watch the Prague Ghost video , but only do this video if your going to watch it because Treys stage presence comes thru strong in the video. Also Bathtub Gin from 97, 98,99 should be a must watch . Thanks for your videos and welcome to phish, there is soo much phish so take it slow lol
best reba ever
listened to this one night while tripping face. That's when it all made sense. That Jesus Christ blotter in 97 was something else. ;)
Little late to the weekly Phish Phry, but always a hoot! You need a fluff or Hood next!
Welcome to ,”Reba!”
Yay. One of the best. So Zappa. So Phish Go check out the lyrics. This song is why Phish fans love Phish and Phish haters hate Phish. This song will make or break a fan for sure. ❤️🌈🤪
I could see this one being the heads or tails for some folks for sure. But luckily for me, I didn’t care which side it landed on. I’m just happy to be here enjoying this wonderful band 🤩👍
Been loving your Phish reactions. I'm gonna ask for something totally out of left field... you oughtta check out Julien Baker. Big fan of Go Home/Hurt Less Pitchfork live version. Or Something, or Distant Solar Systems... all her songs are great, but those are favorites.
Song w/ Jam is good. Have to warm up, get you ready for those 2nd sets where it’s song>jam>song>jam>song>jam oh wait, they never stopped playing the whole set? What just happened?
